Thanks for the reply. I took the metal piece out, and rigged it up as it was intended. The nipple from the separator is now sticking up through the cover and connected direct. After I put everything back together the car now shifts extremely hard. I feel like I am going to get whiplash everytime it shifts and it doesn't seem to know when to shift. Sometimes I will be shifted into 4th gear by the time I hit 25mph. Could they be related? I plan on switching it back to the other setup with the cover nipple pointing directly to the oil separator when I get home to test it. I also accidently disconnected the green pot which I understand has something to do with the vacuum and transmission. I reconnected it without problems though.
